+.SH NAME
+clone_member \- Clone a Mailman mailing list member address.
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B clone_member

+[-r]
+[-a]

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B clone_member
+clones a member address.
+.PP
+Cloning a member address means that a new member will be added who has all the
+same options and passwords as the original member address. Note that this
+operation is fairly trusting of the user who runs it -- it does no
+verification to the new address, it does not send out a welcome message, etc.
+.PP
+The existing member's subscription is usually not modified in any way. If you
+want to remove the old address, use the -r flag. If you also want to change
+any list admin addresses, use the -a flag.
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH OPTIONS
+.IP "--listname=\fIlistname\fP, -l \fIlistname\fP"
+Check and modify only the named mailing lists. If -l is not given,
+then all mailing lists are scanned from the address. Multiple -l
+options can be supplied.
+.IP "--remove, -r"
+Remove the old address from the mailing list after it's been cloned.
+.IP "--admin, -a"
+Scan the list admin addresses for the old address, and clone or change
+them too.
+.IP "--quiet, -q"
+Do the modifications quietly.
+.IP "--nomodify, -n"
+Print what would be done, but don't actually do it. Inhibits the
+--quiet flag.
+.IP "--help, -h"
+Print help message and exit.
+.IP \fIfromoldaddr\fP
+(`from old address') is the old address of the user.
+.IP \fItonewaddr\fP
+(`to new address') is the new address of the user.
